Doubravice: Hotels and Accommodation

South of Doubravice lies Pačíska, a hill 504 m high in the cadastral area of Doubravice u Sedlčan. Clearly recognizable remains of a medieval fortification can be seen at the summit.

Landscape and Geology

Pačíska shapes the gently sloping valley of the Sedlecký potok stream. Near Pačíska there is a former quarry and natural outcrops of metamorphic rocks from the Paleozoic Sedlčany-Krásná Hora island zone. The old quarry near Pačíska exposes crystalline limestones, possibly belonging to the Zbirov Formation, as well as metasiltstones, quartzites, metagreywackes and conglomerates.

The Pačíska geological site is considered worthy of protection because it is one of the few occurrences of the youngest strata of the Central Bohemian island zone. The geological sequence of Pačíska continues eastwards in isolated elevations near Šiberný south of Doubravice.

Historical Traces

Access to Pačíska is along an unmarked route; the site lies more than 250 m from the road. The Šiberný monument stands at the foot of the lookout hill, on the side facing Pačíska.

In the surroundings of Doubravice, about 3 km west of the village, lies the fortified site of Ústupenice. The oval fortified site is surrounded by a ditch on its northern and eastern sides. The foundations of a rectangular building with wall remains are visible on the site; it was probably a palas.
